Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast.

Today we are in our series Relationship Goals, a biblical perspective on achieving

godly relationships in singleness, dating, and in marriage.

Wherever you're listening, we hope you're encouraged by this week's message.

We're in a series that most of you have probably heard about relationship goals.

When we started this series, it was six weeks long and then God extended it to eight weeks

as I've been studying, I wanted to go 15 weeks, but we're not going to do that.

I feel like God is closing what He wants to say right now in this series.

We started talking about sex last week.

No matter if we accept it or not, it's something that touches all of our lives.

Sex, sexuality, the images that we're dealing with in our heart and our mind, what has

happened to us, what was taken from us, what we were exposed to in a manner that was

not godly, whatever it is, you know what it is.

I don't know what it is.

You act like it don't happen, but it's affecting you all over your life.

And the church usually doesn't talk about it.

We just say things like, God will use it for good, but I've not given it to the Father

for real.

I haven't totally surrendered all of it.

And so usually what ends up happening is I'm walking around with issues, problems, burdens,

thoughts, hurts, pains that I'm kind of made to feel as a believer.

I should have already dealt with.
